Garis was shocked as Rippi told him where the Demonfolks fled It was definitely a far and re of many demons and was considered a unreasonably and hazardous forest Beyond the forest was an uncharted and inized as the forest at the edge of the world, thus the name [The Last Forest]

“Is it possible to even live in such a location?” Garius

“You huhtlessly branded those beasts as deerous as you think” Rippi

“Isthat so So the ru were really true” Garius

“What is it?” Rippi

“It’s that I can’t cal treated so politely You and I are travel partners, In other words, equals Don’t need to be formal” Garius
